NURSERY TOWEL-RAG K.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 274,457, dated March 2'7, 1883.

Application filed October 28, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, THOMAS F. BRADY, a citizen of the United States, and a. resident of the city and county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and use fnl Improvement in Nursery Towel-Racks, of which the following is a specification.

The objects of my invention are to provide a rack for holding towels, &c., which may be carried from one place to another with ease and convenience,

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, and in which similar letters of reierenceindicate like parts throughout the several views, Figure l is a perspective view of my invention, and Fig. 2 a side view of one of the' arms upon which the towel or other article is suspended.

My towel-rack consists of a vertical shaft, A, having pivoted to it a number of horizontal arms,-G,-the whole being supported upon a suitable base, B. The arms 0 are furnished with pivots eand d, of unequal length, the upper one, d, being the longer. These pivots are held in staples or screw-eyes a on the shaft A, and,aowin g to their unequal lengths, the arms may be detached from the shaft A whenever desired. The arms 0 may also he swung around to any desired position.

A side view of an arm 0 and the pivots 0 0 and d is shown in Fig. 2, the pivots consisting simply of pieces of wire bent at right angles to the arm 0. ln attaching the arm to the shaft the upper and longer pivot is first passed through its staple and moved up until the lower' and shorier one will enter its staple. The arm is then lowered until the lower staple: bears against the arm or lower pivot, and the: arm is in a. position to hold any article which. may be hung thereon. r

in order to move the rock from one place tog another, I have a ring, I), screwed to the top. of the shaft A, by means of which the wholel device may be lilted without danger of un'i shipping any of the arms or of disturbing any/1 5 articles hung thereon.

Having thus described my invention, .I; claim-- In a clothes-drier, the combination of a. base,

B, and standardAmrovided with staples a,wii,h 75 0 arms 0, provided with books 0 d, of unequal length, adapted to engage with the staples, substantial! y as and for the purpose described.
